Too often, pressure vessel design involves tedious, slow manual work. As technology evolves and demands continue to rise, the old methods can’t keep up. That’s why we’re continuing to advance AutoPIPE Vessel to keep you ahead of the curve.
In this blog, we’ll dig into three new features that will transform your engineering:
- Nozzle Input Interface enhancements
- Component Thickness Comparison Table and Advanced Analysis Settings
- Appendix Y Flange Design enhancements
Our newest release, AutoPIPE Vessel 2025, brings powerful enhancements that will streamline your workflows, empower your designers, and expand your design capabilities.
Nozzle input interface enhancements
Working with multiple nozzles at the same time can be a pain—making individual or batch changes often requires making tedious edits to each nozzle in separate windows. With AutoPIPE Vessel 2025’s enhanced nozzle input interface, you can quickly design and adjust numerous nozzles at once in a single, intuitive interface, saving you time and money.
New component thickness comparison table and advanced analysis settings
Vessels must be strong enough to function safely, but ensuring components are sturdy enough can require repeated flipping between design and the listed thickness requirement. Now, you can use AutoPIPE’s Vessel’s new thickness verification table to simultaneously view the thickness of a selected component alongside the minimum required for internal pressure, allowing quick comparisons. Additionally, advanced analysis settings eliminate the guesswork with quick calculations for component thickness, providing immediate insights for optimizing cost, weight, and safety.
Appendix Y flange design enhancements
AutoPIPE Vessel gives you a new way to improve your vessels by offering design support for Appendix Y type flanges with metal-to-metal contact outside the bolt circle. This option offers more design choices, maintains rigidity, prevents leakage, and can lead to weight and cost savings.
These significant enhancements are just the start. The many new features of the application will boost efficiency, improve decision-making, and make AutoPIPE Vessel a more competitive and comprehensive solution for pressure vessel design. Whether you’re an engineer, equipment manufacturer, or part of an EPC, these updates are designed to make your workflow smoother and your designs more optimized.
